Zoey - Mixed Media & More: Visible Image

Hello crafters!

Beside the wonderful stamps from Visible Image, I used products from ColourArte and a green spray color from Studio Calico.

The stamps I have used for this ATC are :

- Time is Precious
- Leave your Fears

As always I covered the piece of recycled card stock with gesso to create my ATC base.
I added various pigments from ColourArte and then I applied Clear Soft Gel and I let it try -- after I applied 3DGel through a stencil from TCW.

Meanwhile the Gel3D was drying I stamped the clock from the collection Time is Precious i fussy cut it and added colors with distress markers and then I darkened the sides with black soot distress marker.

I did the same thin using the sentiment from Leave your Fears, I cut out the pieces in single lines and I added again some colors using the same colors of the background.

And here's the completed ATC :

Colours (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!

For today's ATC I used again the amazing stamps from Visible Image.
If after these months you haven't check them out yet, you definitely should!!
They have amazing stamps and the quality is outstanding.
They have a variety selections of stamps, even if I use mostly grunge stamps or mixed media stamps, they have a wide selection of stamps set with different themes for everyone!

I also used products from ColourArte , I love the fact that depending on what side you look at the ATC , it assumes different colors!

For this ATC i used these stamps :

- Colours of the wind

I cut a piece of card stock in an ATC size and I covered it with gesso.
Then I also added some piece of cardstock here and there to add some texture and then I covered again with gesso.
I stamped the background with the amazing leaf stamp. I LOVE this stamp also because the "veins" of the leaf resemble a tree shape!
I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

After I stamped the background, I started adding color. Over and over.

I used autumns color even if we are almost near spring time, but today here in Bologna is really cold and I needed some warm!

The sentiment is stamped over another piece of paper. I added color over the paper, using the same color scheme of the background.

I also added some texture by using crackle paint. I let it dry and as soon as the crackle appeared I added some black ink to accentuate the crackle.

Since I used the same color for both sentiment and background I added a small piece of twine and I shaped it into a circle shape.

And here's the completed ATC...

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Fear (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!

Today I will show you, as every saturday, a new ATC using stamps from Visible Image.
As I did in my last post, that you can check it here , I used only one stamp set and products from Luminarte/Colourarte

The stamp sent I have used for this ATC is:

- Leave your fears

I misted my background using Radiant Rains directly on the card stock cut in a ATC size and I usedAutumn Leaf and Teal Zircon. I also add some color to the borders, added 3D Matte Gel throuh a stencil and heat set it with the Embosser.

Since the 3D Matte Gel is transparent you can see through the color from the background.

And here's the finished ATC :

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Hello Crafters!

Here we are again at saturday...and here's my ATC, even if slightly late.
This week has been weird, I know, I am writing this since weeks now, but it seems that these busy busy weeks have no ends!

As always, all the stamps used in this ATC are from Visible Image.

I used only one stamp this time and I used it in two different ways.

The stamp sent I have used for this ATC is:

- Woman INKognito

The base is from a normal card stock cut in ATC size. I sprayed over few spray colors and let it dry.

I kept adding spray colors until I achieved the result I was kinda looking for...

I stamped the Woman INKognito with Archival Ink. I did not stamp the entire image because all I wanted was the woman silhouette.

I added even more color and then with a stencil I applied some modeling paste.

I used the same stamp Woman INKognito to add some splatters of black ink here and there.
I used the "hair" part of the stamp to add random drops of ink (in the image below you can see the small black dots)

Again, I kept adding some more color untill I achieved the result I was looking for.

I used Primary Elements to do so, since they added some bold and rich shades.

I glued down three roses and two leaves that I also colored with Primary Elements.

And here's the completed ATC...

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Time is Precious (Visible image)

Hello Crafters!

Here over Scrapsaurus blog saturday now means ATC day! So here we are with a brand new ATC show casting a brand new stamp release from Visible Image....
Other stamps from heir new release you can check them out by clicking here!

The stamps I have used for this ATC are from :

- Time is Precious

I started off by adding spray colors over my background, I didn't follow a color palette but I simply grabbed here and there colors as I go. I never follow a color palette anyway, so why bother...right? LOL!

I let the background dry very wella nd then I stamped the Clock using the ink pands from Clearsnap & Ann Butler. I then applied some modeling paste through Art Screen also from Clearsnap & Ann Butler and meanwhile the modeling paste was drying out I stamped my sentiment over a piece of scrap paper I had around.
I used Archival Ink for the sentiment that is included in the Time is Precious set and then I simply stitched around the ATC to unite the two pieces.

I thought it was done but then I decided to add some movement to the ATC with some black and white splatters here and there. The ATC was looking too much plain to my eyes!

And here's the finished ATC :

The way you are (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!

Here we are again at Saturday and as every Saturday here's my ATC of the day! For this ATC i used colors that I am not really keen about -- I choose them to challange my self a bit, I like to do this from time to time.

I used stamps from Visible Image....
I vividly suggest you to check out their site, they are UK based and they have high quality stamp. Recently they came out with their new release that you can check it out by clicking here!
I love them all and I can't wait to play with them!

The stamps I have used for this ATC are:

- Ripped Fishnet
- Sunshine Set

I started off by adding IZINK color to a pre cut card stock , I used yellow and shocking pink!
I added color without caring if the two color were mixing, and actually I was hoping for that to happen! I wanted to see a gorgeous orange in between... I didn't achieve that result quiete much , but I loved the result nonetheless!

I used archival ink and the Ripped Fishnet stamp to add texture on the corner of my ATC to not leave a plain background

I also added texture paste through Kasia Kryzminska's stencil from TCW.

When the texture paste was dry, I stamped my sentiment - always using archival ink, the same sentiment (that you find in the Sunshine Set) I stamped it over another card stock I had in my stash. From this, I cut off the heart and the "you are" part that I then added to the background with foam adhesive.

The last step was to cut some twine and randomly glue it to the back of the ATC before gluing everything to a recycled cardboard.

And here's the finished ATC :

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

DragonFLY (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!

For today's ATC I was inspired by the super talented artist that you all know for sure: Finnabair .
I love her style and the way she creates and after taking part of one of her workshop I wanted to try to use her technique in my works.

And even today I used stamps by Visible Image....

The stamps I used for this ATC are:

- Grunge Polka Dot
- Dragonfly

For my base I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays that I love. They are awesome and they perfectly blend with eachothers.
I then stamped part of the background with Grunge Polka Dot and archival ink. As always I didin't use the acrylic block since I was not looking for a perfect background.

I kept adding dimensions and colors to the background and then I added through a stencil the modeling paste.

While everything was drying I stamped this wonderful Dragonfly over a white cardstock, also with archival ink.

I then colored the stamped image with Primary Elements.

And here are the photo of the final project.
As you notice, you can clearly see I was inspired by Anja, I still hope I was able to put in a bit of my style... eheh ;-)

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Nostalgia (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!
Here I am again with my usual ATC of Saturday!...I need to find a cool name for this weekly appointment! LOL
Lately I am in a romantic and nostalgic mood and ... nope! Not because we are approaching S.Valentine...but because I have been home sick (yes again) and I spent an entire week watching romantic movies....LOL!

For this ATC too I used again stamps from Visible Image....and by now, if you follow me since a bit, you know already that Visible Image is an UK company that create and sell high quality stamps.

The stamps I have used for this ATC are from :

- Time After Time
- Immortal Love

I created the base using distress inks Sugar Spun and Shaded Lilac, I applied the color over the Kraft Sheet and I created a small puddle of color, I then put the cardstock over the puddle of color and I let the colors soak in the cardstock. I let it dry and then I used some spray inks to create some splashes here and there.
With the Texture Card # 8 from Faber Castell Design Memory Craft (New release from CHA2015!!!) I applied the Whipped Spackle --also by Design Memory Craft to create some texture.

The I took another piece of cardstock and I stamped the two roses two times each and then I colored them using again distress ink (Picked Raspberry, Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw) and a small watercolor brush.
Then I patiently cut every single piece of the roses to then glue them back to the two roses that were not cut. I tried to achieve a 3D look...it took me a while...and I had to use a lot of patience, but then I was able to get the result I was looking for!!

When the roses where done, I glued them to the ATC base and then I stamped another stamp from the collection Time After Time , fussy cut it and glued to the base!

After glueing the clock and the two roses at the base, I wanted to balance the top part of the ATC a little, so I taped down a piece of washi tape and a sticker as sentiment.

Here's the image of the finished project:

Time Flies (Visible Image)

ATC

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!
After spending a bit of time in California, I am back with a new ATC for you!
This year I decided to focus more on ATCs and to create many of them. Last year I realized I didn't create a lot of ATC and this year I want to make it up for that!

To create this ATC i used stamps from Visible Image. Visible Image is a company based in UK that make and sell high quality stamps.

The stamps I used for this ATC are all from the same stamp set :

- Time After Time

I created the base of my ATC using gelatos, I used Gold Champagne, Mango and Bubble Gum. I blended the colors with my fingers untill everything was well blended. Then with a spatula I added gel Medium. I learned this technique from Limor Webber.

After I darkened up the edge a bit with gelatos Black Licorice, I stamped the background with one of the stamps in the Time After Time collection.

I finished off the ATC by adding whipped spackle through a stencil, some ink splatters here and there and I stamped the wings and the clock on a white cardstock that I then fussy cutted.
After I glued everything together I decided to glue my ATC over a piece of cardboard this will add even more interest and it will make the ATC stay still.

Here's the finished project:

You Make Me Smile (Visible Image)

Card

(Leave a comment)

Hello Crafters!
Here we are again with a new card for you! Today I want to show you another easy peasy card I made with the Visible Image stamps. This is my second post using their stamps and I have to tell you that I felt in Love!
If you missed my first post, you can find it by clicking here.

The stamps set I have used for this card are:

- Flower Inkognito
- Bronte - Script
- Make me Smile Set Quote

I started off with a background created with distress ink. I smudged some color over my kraft sheet, added some water and let the colors go through the paper and let them blend together.
I then stamped the Flower Inkognito with the archival ink. What I like most about this stamp, is that it comes in two pieces...so you can easily use just the flower to create fantastic background too!

When the background was dry, I added more stamping with Bronte - Script -- that so far is one of my favorite stamp background. To stamp that, I used the same colors of my background, but this time I used distress markers!

For my sentiment, I colored the background paper with some colors left over I had left over the kraft sheet and with archival ink again I stamped the sentiment from Make me Smile Set Quote.

I stamped the main part trying to stay centered, then I stamped again slightly moving on the left to create the shadow effect.

To finish it off I added some splatters of black ink and did my frame.

And there is the card..

What do you think about it?

Make sure to visit Visible Image Blog and also the Facebook Group!!
From this month over the facebook group we have a new challange called "SHOW & TELL" where we ask you to show with us your creations using Visible Image stamp and also telling us the story behind the creation!

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!
